A wonderfully comprehensive look at the papermaking process. From the pulpwood being cut and peeled in the Pleasant River region of Washington County, Maine to its transformation into thermal and mechanical pulp for use on "modern" paper machines, this video has it all. Incredibly rare river driving footage down the Penobscot and the work of the Maine Seaboard Company in Bucksport are shown in great detail. Filmed in 1940.
